- Connecticut has no single general contractor license. Residential remodeling needs a home improvement contractor registration, new home builders register as new home construction contractors, and some large commercial and structural projects need a separate major contractor registration.
- You need general liability insurance of at least $20,000, and renewals must be filed online.
